To Extend Their Electrical Manufac-

To Extend Their Electrical ndanufac. turing Facilities i'm New Haven. BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 12.-The Boston Tray l eller of yesterday has the following: Consoli- ] dation seems to be the order of the day in all the larger branches of business. Presi- dent Golf, of the American Electric Manufac- city Saturday in consultation with the mana ger, Brown, and the principal stockholders of the Electrical Development and Msnufac- turing company of this city, and he stated that an arrangement was arrived at by which the entire factory, property and patents be- longing to the Electrical Development com- pany will be absorbed by the American company for stock in the latter company.
 An interview with the manager of the Electrical Development company discloses the fact that this company is now doing manufacture of electric supplies of all kinds, but that the bulk of his business-say about eighty per cent of 8 business of over half million dollars per annum-is now done for the American company.
 He says that the American company are now making preparations to largely extend their manufacturing facilities in New Haven and consolidate all their works there, which would in short time deprive the Develop ment company of this large income. The manager also stated that under the circum- stances he considers the consolidation of the entire business under one head a very wise thing to do. MT. Brown says the new fac tory of the American company will employ about one thousand workmen, and have a capacity for turning out two to two and a half million dollars worth of apparatus per aOnnno

A MODERN BORGIA Or TRIAL.

The Somervtlle Prisoner Brought
 Into Court to be Tried for Her Life.
 BOSTON, Dec. 12.-The long delayed trial
 of Mrs Sarah Jane Robinson, the alleged
 poisoner of Willie J. Robinson, Lizzie J.
 Robinson, Moses Robinson, her children, and
 of Oliver Sleeper and Prince Arthur Free
 man, was begun in the supreme judicial
 court at East Cambridge this morning be-
 fore Justices Field and Knowlton. Dr.
 Charles c. Beers and Thomas R. Smith, who
 were arrested as Mrs. Robinson's accom-
 plices, were present. Mrs. Robinson was at
 tired in black and was very pale as the pro-
 ceedings began with the work of impanel-
 ling jury. She betrayed no nervousness,
 however, and seemed interested in the legal
 controversies. large number of jurors
 were challenged by both sides, but the panel
 was finally completed and Judge Field in
 formed the jury that as the trial would
 probably last some days they might retire in the custody of officers to write home to their families. The indictment was read and the
 jury retired. After the reading of the in- dictment which charged all three persons with murder, Clerk Hurd announced that the government had decided to mol pros. the counts against Smith and Beers and to retain the first count only against Mrs. Robinson, which charges her with the murder by poison ing of her son, Willie J. Robinson. The noon recess was then taken.
 When the court came Tn after recess D1s- trict Attorney Stevens said that the govern ment desired to introduce evidence concern ing the deaths of the other members of Mrs. Robinson's family, all of whom died from the effects of arsenieal poisoning and each enc exhibiting symptoms similar to the others. This arse- nic was not administered in single dose, he said, bat a series of doses and in each case | the prisoner had general charge of the sick room and superintended the giving of medi- cines. In the case of the earlier victims l monetary benefits from insurance companies l were expected and received. The district ! attorney quoted precedents in favor of allow | ing the introduction of such evidence as he wished to put in and his argument occupied most of the afternoon. The judge said that | in some cases such evidence might be allow | ed, while in others it would be manifestly l improper. The court then adjourned until | tomorrow

He finally arrived and gave bonds for MT. flakes. The date of the hear ing was fixed for the 31st of December.
 The charge against MT, flakes is that of making false entries, and the specific charge is that he entered as assets $4O, ,000 of farm mortgage bonds which the company did not possess.

A GOOD LEAD.

l The New Ravens Defeat the Bridge. 1 ports Last N1sht-The Home Team Plays an Excellent Game-Connors Gets Ffned-The Score Fled Three TtNes-Score 6 to 3.
 By defeating the Bridgeports last night the l New Ravens have good lead for the cham pionship, being two games ahead of the Meridens. Last nights game was very in- teresting one. There was no rough playing, and although three fouls were called they were not for that kind of playing.
 The score of the game was New Ravens G., Bridgeports 3. Connors took the first rush, and it did not take long for Parsons to cage it. Connors also took the second rush. He hit to Cunning, The ball went into the air and on it's coming down Cunning drove it into the cage, amid great applause.
 This tied the score, each team having a goal.
 The third goal was made only after some brilliant playing on both sides. Some of Abercrombie's stops were marvellous. Once three drives were made for the cage in rapid succession, but he stopped them all. The New Ravens had the ball in the cage twice, first sent the ball to it's resting place, but it bounded out Then Connors passed to Newcombe, who drove the ball past Abercrombie, and 8 cheer started from the throats of the spectators. The goal, however, was not yet New Havens, for the ball would not stay in the cage. Finally a double play was made. Abercrombie made stop, but Cunning caught the ball and made it stay in the cage at last. This gave the crowd chance to cheer lustily. Rogers for Bridgeport made the fourth goal
 Again the two teams were tied, the score being to 3.
 Bridgeport took the fifth goal. On the sixth Referee Wilder called a foul on Con- nors for striking the ball with his hand The hissing would have unnerved almost anybody but Wilder. He stood it we'll being as com posed as lamb, and a minute later he fined Connors five dollars. He said Connors hit him on the shins with his stick as Rogers and Connors tried to get the ball when he blew the whistle after the bali had gone outside Newcombe gave oEe of his left-handed drives and the sixth goal was New Haven's
 This tied the score for the third time
 The New Ravens had little difficulty in taking the next three goals, as their oppo- nents were nearly played out. The work of the New Havens was excellent. Watson tended goal in good style, although there is yet some chance for improvement. He has improved greatly since his first game. Dun ning's playing was of course of the best. Hallett's blocking was 6 feature. The rushz ing of Newcombe and Connors was as good one wishes to see. The New Ravens now play good game throughout. Each player seems to understand every move of the other This can also be said of the Bridgeports Their passing is of high order. The score:

The Flames Eat Up over Half Million
 Right zn the Heart of the Rusine ess
 Centre.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-A threatening conf1a- grafton burst out about 7:30 tonight in the very centre of the most valuable business property in Chicago. The flames were first noticed shooting from the windows of the large wholesale boot and shoe establishment of Phelps, Dodge & Palmer. Their building is on the corner of Adams street and Fifth avenue, directly across from Marshell, Field & Co.'s warehouse and the general offices of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad. The location is but few squares from the new board of trade, the principal hotels and the court house and is surrounded by tall, costly buildings. Thousands of sparks swept over these and great crowds of ex- cited people speedily jammed the ad- joing streets. The prominence of the firm and especially it's senior member, Erskine M. Phelps. who is member of the Demo- cratic National committee, gave additional interest to the occurrence. Phelps, Dodge & Col establishment occupied 8 quarter of square and was a solid five story piece of masonry but the upper floors quickly sue cumbed to the flames. At S:35 an entire building had been gutted. The loss will be from $500, 900 to $750, ,000 The building was owned by E. H. Sheldon. It was put up in 1877 and cost $70,O00. The present value is placed at $100,0 The structure and it's out their winter stock and fitted out every floor with spring goods. MT. Phelps esti- mated his insurance at between $500, 900 and $500, GOO, distributed among a number of companies. The firm placed their own in- surance.

Hieeinste step pown.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-A dispatch to the Sun from Washington says: "The much abused Eugene Higgins has determined to retire from the Treasury department shortly and will place in the hands of Secretary Fairehild his resignation. This step is en- tirely voluntary on the part of MT. Higgins, and it would have been taken few months after his appointment had it not been for the personal abuse heaped upon him by the Re- publican and Mugwump press"
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Appointment Clerk Higgins ot the Treasury department, said to-day that he intended to resign and leave the government employ at an early date His retirement he says is voluntary and is brought about by an opportunity to engage in desirable private business.
